Interference, or 131313, is a series of paintings about signal degradation. What happens when a simple message suffers a loss of information that compromises the entire message? And what if the message is not simple? This can take place between two people, where only they are effected, or perhaps between nations, rattling sabers. The imagery I use for this body of work comes exclusively from a call for images through social networking sites like Facebook and twitter. I consider this body of work an experimental collaboration with social practices. The use of the PIXEL references, in part, the digital nature of the internet. It also has an interesting visual effect acting as an obstruction, altering the potential of a shared narrative, building a whole from two disparate halves that ultimately work in conjunction with each other.
